3 strikes and your out!

Greetings

I'd just like to start today by apologising straight up for what i am about to write about, the following post and the views expressed within it are entirely those of Sir Boom and not any other author of the site that is Boom Goes The Arsenal. That being said i have a feeling that they will agree with my opinions despite their controversial nature. So with that out of the way, on with the rant.

It was mid Sunday morning and after having to get up for work at 3:30am i wasnt really in the mood for doing anything other than lying around, having a bit of a "nana nap" and watching the Jets in the afternoon. As is always the case in my house my plans seem to vary from those of the very lovely Lady Boom. It was brought to my attention, just as i was boarding the choo choo train to sleepyville, that Lady Boom was bored and wanted to go into the city for some shopping. So i did what any self respecting husband does, and pretended to be asleep until she left the room. Moments later she returned announcing that she and her sister were leaving without me and would return later, fine by me!

Problem now was i had lost that sleepy feeling so i arose and found i had 3 hours to kill until the Jets kicked off, oh how was i to fill this wonderful time alone? With TV of course, and whatever sport happened to be on, even if it was womans billiards. Well i settled for something far less interesting, the Thugby League "Test Match" of Australia v New Zealand. What a joke that was! Absolutely pathetic! I really dont rate the game that much, i mean in all honesty its a stupid game for meat heads with no brains and the game did little to prove me wrong. There was a massive crowd of around 178 people there to witness the 2 "best teams in the whole wide world" smash the crap out of eachother. I didnt even finish watching the game and instead wasted money of the horses.

The one thing i will say is that Thugby League should never be allowed to have a "World Cup", their use of the term is an insult to all real sports and if i had my way it would be banned.

Dont think for a second that this is where my rant stops, oh no people, the shit has yet to hit the fan let me tell you!

The time clicked over to 2:30pm, the time of the pre-game show and i was that bored i thought i would even be able to put up with Robbie "I have a premiership winners medal dont you know" Slater's shit. To my surprise though when i turned over the show was not on, the "Baseball" was still going and was "Live" so Fox Sports was staying with it. Fair enough i said, ill come back in 15 mins. Well i did come back, however it was still going, bottom of the 9th inning or something and from memory that was close to the end of the game, problem was the scores were tied. I was starting to get worried.

If you have ever bothered to watch a game of Baseball you will be aware of how utterly fuckin boring it is and how fuckin long the game takes to move along. Man i thought that cricket was sometimes boring, but it has nothing on this game. It is incredible, nothing happens for around 30 mins, then someone finally hits a ball, then nothing happens for another 30 mins. I have a theory as to why the game of baseball is slow, and it is this, all Americans are fat right, therefore it takes them a long time to move, hence why baseball is so slow. Then there is this point, a game of baseball can take over 5 hours, if you attend one of these games as a spectator how many hotdogs do you think you can eat in 5 hours? A shitload! There being the reason why so many Americans are fat, hence why baseball is so slow! Its a vicious cycle that those poor people are in, but then again anyone stupid enough to elect a halfwit like Bush not once, but twice deserves to be punished by being fat and made to watch baseball for 5 hours!

Problem is that i am neither fat, nor American, therefore i shouldnt be subject to that shit and needless to say i was pissed of big time that i missed basically the 1st half of the Jets v Wellington game. In the end the Jets won and i suppose thats all that counts.

Its just my opinion
